Medium-bodied, forward, and sexy, the medium to dark ruby-colored 2000 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard offers cherry, spice, strawberry, cassis, and violet aromas. This feminine wine has lovely intensity and elegance. It is pure, sultry, packed with cherry as well as blackberry fruit, and has a long, supple finish. Projected maturity: now-2009.
"Regardless of what some may say, 2000 is not a great vintage," announced Mark Vlossak, Saint Innocent's owner and winemaker. "It's good, but not in the same league as 1998 and 1999." Consumers should pay particular attention to Saint-Innocent's offerings. Not only are they some of the finest wines made in Oregon but they are among the most reasonably priced.
